摘要：
An increased prevalence of coronary artery ectasia (CAE) and a low frequency of diabetes mellitus have been reported in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The prevalence of diabetes was studied in 190 patients with CAE in comparison with 341 age- and gender-matched patients with coronary artery disease alone. Diabetes mellitus was found to be independently but inversely associated with CAE (relative risk 0.603, 95% confidence interval 0.375 to 0.960, p = 0.037), thus resembling the relation between diabetes and AAA.
